Most Heavyweight wrestlers in the B1G weigh between 225 & 285.
If D1 Wrestling had a 215lb or 220lb weight class, I have no doubt that

The 6 schools, their 2020 wrestling rankings & NCAA Tournament Top 20 finishes since 2016:
Princeton 2020 Top...
Rutgers Wrestling at Rider isn't much better than Rutgers Football playing at Monmouth.
If Rider wants to wrestle at the Rac then fine. But, Rutgers Wrestling has very little to gain

Rutgers Wrestling has bigger fish to fry on the road now.
Rutgers Wrestling is at...
Best Home & Home Dual agreements for RU outside of the B1G are vs Lehigh & Princeton in my opinion.
